At this
meeting the members went on record for a campaign to raise $5000 by contribution
for the building of a legion home. The men favored a building with facilities
for outdoor games rather than a monument, shaft or bronze lab as a token
of appreciation. Each man was issued a membership card after payment of
$1.
